Sixnet acquires BlueTree Wireless Data
Sixnet Holdings has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of outstanding shares of BlueTree Wireless Data, a leading supplier of machine to machine Cellular Data Products.
The Datalog Server can simultaneously accept transfers initiated from multiple remote stations (clients).
This client initiated data transfer offers important advantages over traditional polling methods, including: safe passage of data through firewalls; fast response in a "report on exception" system; the ability to use DHCP protocol to avoid the need to assign permanent IP addresses to each station (Static IP addresses can be expensive or simply not available); reduction in network bandwidth usage; and elimination of dedicated polling network infrastructure.
At the central host, the Datalog Server software receives the data records from the remote dataloggers and passes it to the data storage system.
For peace of mind in mission critical archiving situations, two servers can be run in parallel, and the clients can be instructed to transfer the data to these redundant servers.
SIXNET is a developer of open industrial automation systems, including the ground-breaking IPm line of embedded Linux controllers and RTUs.
